Driver tries to run down bicycle patrol

The driver of a stolen SUV attempted to run down a pair of officers patrolling on their bikes, say Toronto police. The officers had to jump out of the way of the speeding vehicle. Police used a dragnet involving more bikes and police cruisers to find the stolen vehicle and the driver, catching him after a brief foot chase.

The driver was charged with attempted murder, assault with a weapon, failure to stop for police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and possession of stolen property.
